Reflection Post

How do you think I did?
Well before I got my grade I thought that I did a good job on my essay. I spent a lot of time thinking about and writing the essay starting from my outline to the final result. I probally could have spent even more time though, because there were a few days when I did slack off. When I got my grade of a NP/LP however I was kinda shocked. I think it was because things like organizing my thoughts and not going off on tangents are some of my weakest things when it comes to writing and they were major things I was being graded on.

What have I learned about my writing process?
I don't think I really learned anything about my writing process. I still pretty much do it the same way as I always have which aparently is not good enough anymore. So now I somehow need to find a way to improve it which I am not sure how to do. I think the main problem is that it is really hard for me to put what I am thinking down on paper and I have not the fanitest clue how to fix that.

What have I learned about my writing philosophy?
I think I learned that my writing philosophy is all wrong. Writing to me has always been just trying to say my own opion on all matters. But I guess that this is not the right way to write. By my grade it seems that the more important things about writing would be to try and incorporate others veiws into my writing which I have never been acostomed to doing. But I think getting the terrible grade that I did just shows me that some how I need to Change pretty much everything about my writing because the way I used to veiw it is not enough anymore.

What have I learned about the difference between high school writing and College writing?
Overall I have learned that there is a huge difference between high school and college writing. I learned that first off most of the essays we write are going to be very boring which always lead to us writing boring terrible essays. I also learned that the level of writing that we used in high school is not enough at all. Somehow almost all of us are going to have and try to improve are selves someway. Hopefully somehow though Craig teaching us we will learned how to step up the level. The last major thing that I think I learned is that now that we are in College we can not slack off at all. We have to dedicate every second we have to our work if we ever expect to earn a higher grade.

What changes will I make for my next essay?
I think that there will be many changes for my next essay. I know that I will have to work a lot harder and dedicate more time to my writing. I also know that I will need to try and improve useing the They say/I say format cause I suck at it right now. I also need to work at organization appantly which I have no idea how to improve at all. And last I need to improve my own opion which I thought I did a good job on but appantly is not even a key factor in our grade.


Overall This sucks. Cause I thought I deserved a much better grade then I got.
